When will my guppies mate i have 2 males and 2 females or i think i do, how can u tell them apart? I had them for at least a month, do I have to wait longer? I have so many questions, I just want them to mate and know how to take good care of them. Can someone tell me, I am really clueless about this?

Haha, waco, do you know what guppies are?

To the asker- your fish will be happier if you have three females for every one male. If you only have one female for each male the males will probably start fighting and get stressed. Females usually have much smaller tails and have very little color, while the males have big tails and lots of color.

You’ve probably had the fish too long for you to exchange, see if maybe a friend wants one of your male guppies and then go buy another female, so you still have only four fish. You don’t just want to buy more females because once you have the babies, you’ll run out of room quickly and you want as much space as possible.

If your fish are happy and healthy, which doesn’t take much at all, you’ll get babies. Lots of babies. In fact, at this point they’re probably already pregnant.

Now, as for once you have the babies, I like to just add lots of plants and hiding places and leave them in the tank. This way, instead of getting dozens and dozens of guppies that need new homes, you’ll get two or three strong babies each time that you can keep in your tank, and you don’t have to worry about overcrowding.

I can’t tell you much more than that, sorry. I think the fry (the baby fish) need special food but I don’t know what, I’ve only ever bred mollies. Hopefully someone else will be able to fill you in on that. Good luck!
